Call for Submissions on Theme of "Lost and Found": Griffith Review 92

Griffith Review 92

Lost and Found
Non-fiction and fiction - open

'Loss,' wrote Marcus Aurelius, 'is nothing else but change'. We lose face, lose time, lose heart, lose touch, lose ground, lose our keys (often); we can lose the things that hold us back or weigh us down, just as we can lose the people and places we love most. Loss, whether it offers us pain or reward, is fundamental to the experience of being human. What might we lose or gain as technology continues its rapid advance? How do we halt the loss of our natural world? What's lost by growing up between cultures? Are we losing our sense of a shared reality? And what are the benefits to being a loser?

Lose yourself in this edition of Griffith Review as we go in search of answers.

Things for you to note:
* We're looking for non-fiction and fiction that responds to the theme.
* We want pieces that are no longer than 4,000 words (they can, of course, be much shorter than this.
* Full submissions only – no pitches please.
* We'll let you know the outcome of your submission within eight weeks of the closing date.
